Pros

Very few, the things that used to be Pros have been stripped away to the point where long term employees leave and Leadership cant’t be bothered, they’re just excited for another cost cut and another body they can move to a lower paying region.

Cons

Management is terrible, constant restructuring of teams and commission. People leave and are never replaced. The benefits are terrible (low pay, long hours, garbage health insurance, no 401k match, basically zero holidays, “unlimited PTO” which you can never take). Absolute culture of fear from the top down. Just read some of the responses Formlabs is posting here plus some of the reviews (lmao to the reviewer that says people who just want a high base salary probably aren’t a good fit). All the high reviews by management and team leads while the grunts hate it here.

It’s unfortunate that your experience has been so negative, especially more recently. We have made many changes over the past year as a growing business with very ambitious goals- and we’re achieving them. While we understand that it can be very challenging to work through talent strategy and business changes that at times negatively impact folks, evolution and change is what enables innovative companies to grow and thrive. We’re sorry it did not work for you. Formlabs has made significant progress over the past year, with new products like Form 4 and Form 4L launched. With 100,000 printers shipped and a growing number of customers loving our products, we are committed to growing and developing our Sales team. We evaluate our compensation regularly and we did recently increase the compensation in the US for several of our direct sales roles. We do want the best tech sales talent out there and believe this makes us a compelling place for folks of varying backgrounds to thrive. It is surprising to hear that you think our health insurance is not good as it's very robust with various plan options through the United Healthcare provider network and free plan options for employees. Our paid time off policy is also very flexible, but of course does encourage people to plan in advance so we can make sure we are staffing appropriately to meet the needs of our business. Fortunately many people are enjoying time at Formlabs. As someone on the team who drafts these responses, I’m sad to hear they don’t resonate with you. I truly work to thoughtfully review, share and action the feedback we receive.
